Important safety notes
You have purchased a kit which can be assembled to produce a fully working RC model when fitted out with
the appropriate accessories. As manufacturers, we at GRAUPNER are not in a position to influence the way
you install, operate and maintain the model, nor the other components used in connection with the model. For
this reason we are obliged to deny all liability for loss, damage or costs which are incurred due to the
incompetent or incorrect use and operation of our products, or which are connected with such operation in any
way. Unless otherwise prescribed by binding law, the obligation of the GRAUPNER company to pay
compensation, regardless of the legal argument employed, is excluded. This includes personal injury, death,
damage to buildings, loss of trade or turnover, interruption of business or other indirect or direct damages which
are caused by the operation of the model.
Under all circumstances and in all cases the company’s overall liability is limited to the amount which you
actually paid for this model.
The model is operated at the sole risk of the operator. To avoid injury to persons and damage to
property please handle your model boat carefully and operate it conscientiously at all times.
Before you run the boat for the first time it is important to check that your private third party insurance policy
provides cover when you are operating model boats of this kind. If you are not sure, take out a special
insurance policy designed to cover the risks of RC modelling.
These safety notes are important, and must be kept in a safe place. If you ever dispose of the model, be sure to
pass them on to the new owner.
The following points are important and must be observed at all times:
•
This model is not suitable for young persons under fourteen years of age.
•
The keel ballast is made of lead! When you have finished with the model, it is essential to dispose of the
lead weight in accordance with legal requirements; it must
never
be discarded in the household waste. If
you are not sure where you can take scrap lead, ask your local authority for information (usually communal
recycling centres).
•
The projecting parts of the model may be sharp, and the aerials and masts may cause eye injuries.
•
If the model is to be built by a youngster, a parent or guardian must monitor the assembly process, as tools
and adhesives can be hazardous.
•
Please operate the model
carefully
when there are persons or animals in the water;
always
keep a safe
distance between the boat and man or beast.
•
Never run your boat in a protected site, an animal or plant sanctuary or a site of special scientific interest
(SSSI). Check with your local authority that the stretch of water you wish to use is suitable for model boats.
•
Never
sail the model in salt water.
•
Never run your boat in adverse conditions, e.g. rain, storm, strong wind (above Beaufort 4), choppy water
or strong currents.
•
As the model is propelled solely by the wind, it should only be sailed in wind strengths of 1 to 3 on the
Beaufort scale (leaves moving in the wind). If the wind is stronger, the boat could heel severely and be
impossible to control. Gusty conditions should also be avoided.
•
The model requires a breeze in order to move, i.e. in flat calm conditions the boat will just remain stationary
on the water. Please bear this in mind before sailing the model.
•
Before you operate the boat, please check that the radio control system is working reliably.
